In our different cultures as black people a men is said to be strong and lead a family. In sotho commonly known as " monna halle ke nku". As blacks men are not allowed to be vulnerable and have emotions nor be hurt. Is it fair ?
That's something Basotho men need to erase from their minds. People end up being sick just because they are bottling up their emotions. That belief has to stop. It is unfair. If you feel like screaming, then why not do it.
It's definitely not fair, but I'm somehow glad because our Sotho men are evolving, they show more emotions of late. We are not yet there but, we are currently on the right track, as they are opening up more as compared to previous years.
I don't understand this vulnerability of men, could you please elaborate more. In my opinion, I would say according to my personal experience, men are vulnerable to love as if they are the ones alone to show love to their loved ones; they don't get reciprocated for love.
It's really not a fair and I would believe that society shaping them like that leads them to being depressed and hiding their emotions. Which is why there is a high number of men comiting suicide
It really isn't fair because not showing that you are dealing with hurt doesn't mean you are not, hence most Men are dealing with depression today...but I believe lately it one's choice because the level of education in our societies is really improving, so people are getting to understand things differently
It is not fair, because men are also humans and they too have emotions and they get hurt too. Many are mad because of that sotho phrase "monna ke nku ha lle." Some have committed suicide due to that phrase.

ReplyDeleteIt's not fair because men are human too. Although they do not fully function on emotions like women, but they still get hurt.
